Wishes and Choices: Mythral’s Wish
D.B. Thomas
It is a long-standing prophecy that “Mythral’s Choice will doom or save the Realms.” But which choice is that: the initial spell creating the Three Realms; the unorthodox selection of a girl apprentice; or the desperate casting of an insanely dangerous Spell?
Wishes and Choices: Mythral’s Wish is filled with moral dilemmas and mental puzzles to engage and challenge the reader. The quest to alter Mythral’s foreseen death leads them to all three Realms. Within these Realms, the reader will encounter gryphons, dragons, wizards with unique talents and even stranger dwellings, myths and mysteries. As they confront dark magic and betrayal, they must face their own flaws. Surviving the final confrontation compels both of them to fundamentally alter themselves in unforeseen ways.

Seeds of the Yew
Harold Bell
Upon retirement, a 30-year dream was realized when Harold Bell completed his first novel, Under the Yew, a story of friendship and family set in the late ‘60s about a group of multi-cultural young people who emigrate to Liverpool in the hopes of creating a life together. Seeds of the Yew revisits the ‘Greenbank Gang,’ now settled in the northwest of England. After the psychedelic ‘60s, the seismic ‘70s finds the group gaining friends and family, and no lack of challenges threaten the collective sense of belonging and thriving.
From politics to pop-culture, and through revolution and renaissance, the Fab Five continue to guide their clan from under the big yew in Mossley Hill. The author’s passion for history, sport and the arts creates a warm and richly varied story of friendship and family.
Cossacks & Caviar
Gord Hume
Samantha and her two BFFs are terrorizing the high seas in this raucous and hilarious adventure.
Quickly nicknamed ‘The Troika of Terror’ by the cruise ship’s staff, the three women soon become involved in rescuing a secret family heirloom: a rare treasure that the world hasn’t seen for a hundred years.

As they sail the stormy international waters, the attacks never stop—nor does the humor and fun for readers.

Cigar City: Tales From a 1980s Creative Ghetto Turns Five!
Cigar City is a collection of linked short stories about the young artists, writers, poets, musicians and actors who inhabited Tampa’s Ybor City in the 1980s. Drawn by urban authenticity and cheap rents, they created a surreal, chaotic, arts scene set against the backdrop of the empty cigar factories and shotgun shacks of Tampa’s immigrant past. The Ybor scene drew international artists like James Rosenquist and mirrored what was happening in New York’s East Village.
Now, at five, Cigar City is getting new life. Author Paul Wilborn will celebrate with appearances throughout St. Petersburg and Tampa. Select events will include live music by Paul’s four-piece group and readings featuring actor Eugenie Bondurant.
